WENTWORTH’S LOCATION — A Maine man was in stable condition Sunday night following a snowmobile accident.

At 10 a.m. conservation officers responded to the junction of Old Greenough Pond Road and Route 26 in Errol to investigate a report of a snowmobile accident.

He was transported to Upper Connecticut Valley Hospital for treatment, where he was listed in stable condition.
